  • Title: Ultrasound-guided glue injection as alternative treatment of femoral pseudoaneurysms.
    Author: Aytekin C, Firat A, Yildirim E, Kirbas I, Boyvat F.
    Journal: Cardiovasc Intervent Radiol; 2004; 27(6):612-5. PubMed ID: 15578137.
    Abstract:
    The interventional angiographic techniques using the percutaneous femoral approach for endovascular revascularization are becoming increasingly more popular. These methods usually require larger sheaths, and most patients need postprocedural anticoagulation or antiplatelet therapy. As a consequence, the interventional procedure is associated with a higher rate of complications at the arterial entry site compared to diagnostic angiography. The reported incidence of iatrogenic pseudoaneurysm formation after coronary artery interventions ranges from 3.2% to 7.7%, and the rates noted after diagnostic angiography range from 0.2% to 1%.
